The Margarita is a top-down halter top that is worked flat with lace eyelet detail in the center of the top. There is a 1x1 rib edge work on both sides of the top with a lace detail increase to create the halter shape. The I-cord straps are made after the top has been finished by picking up stitches at marked points of the top. The Margarita Mini Skirt is a top-down project that is worked in the round. It begins with the option for a provisional cast-on or long-tail cast-on. This gives the opportunity to either enclose the elastic waistband at the beginning of the process or later, once the garment is complete. There are increases after the waistband portion to create a slightly A-Line shape to the skirt, as well as optional short row shaping. The skirt ends with a lace detail before ending in 2x2 ribbing.
